A good off-season review for the Redskins

[Daseal]

Gus, the year before last, and the year before that, etc. How did we get pressure on the quarterback? (Hint, it was a good secondary that allowed us to play man coverage and blitz). We don't need super passrushers at DE as long as our secondary doesnt get so banged up.

Yeah, but even adequate pass rushers are necessary when the secondary suffers crushing injuries like we saw last year with Springs. You still need guys up front who can generate some pressure in case the secondary falters. We didn't have that in 2006 and hence, we set the NFL record for fewest number of sacks in a non-strike season.

(cue the 'sacks don't mean everything crowd'...)
